For example, those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste, etc. - must use these strategies where they are appropriate. All who have, or aspire to have, a responsible role in society should discipline their minds to use them. | ||
The [[Strategies for engineered outcomes|Strategies Chapter]] outlines a conceptual framework that can be used in a wide range of situations, not only in engineering. The other chapters give instances of the use of the framework in specific contexts. | The [[Strategies for engineered outcomes|Strategies Chapter]] outlines a conceptual framework that can be used in a wide range of situations, not only in engineering.

Others like to do it the other way around. A main principle behind Engineer-it is that information is provided that can satisfy both of these strategies. | ||
